The partner made the difference, not the software

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

Manufacturing depth well beyond its price point. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete.

What does not

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.

Used for less than 6 months

Stock and the ledger finally agree

Two years post go live and I would make the same decision. Integrated ecommerce, stock and accounting in a single database. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Integrated ecommerce, stock and accounting in a single database. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between.

What does not

Implementation cost more than the licence, as expected but still painful.

Used for 2 to 5 years

The partner made the difference, not the software

We run four warehouses and two companies on this and the consolidation works. One licence covering every application rather than module by module pricing. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

What works

One licence covering every application rather than module by module pricing. Consolidation across our companies takes days rather than weeks. Traceability from raw material to finished goods is complete.

What does not

The interface is dense and training is a real line item.

Implementation ran eleven months over

Under scoped implementation, and we discovered it after go live. For context, the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. It has cost us more time than it has saved. I would look elsewhere unless price is the only consideration.

What works

It is stable once running.

What does not

Localisation was incomplete at go live. The implementation ran badly over time and budget. We are still running parallel spreadsheets.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Stock and the ledger finally agree

The implementation partner was excellent, which I think matters more than the badge. One licence covering every application rather than module by module pricing. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

A free community edition for businesses that can self host. Stock on hand matches the physical count for the first time in years. Branch reporting comes out without a spreadsheet in between.

What does not

Configuration changes need the partner rather than an internal administrator.

The localisation was never properly finished

Under scoped implementation, and we discovered it after go live. What surprised me was that the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. Test it hard during the trial with real volume before committing.

What works

The core accounting works.

What does not

Renewal pricing increased well beyond inflation. Localisation was incomplete at go live. The implementation ran badly over time and budget.

Response from the vendor14 Feb 2026

We appreciate you taking the time to write this up. The support delay you experienced is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and we have followed up internally. Please reach out directly and we will assist.

We value the honest assessment. The bank feed reliability issue you mention has been addressed in a recent release, and we would encourage you to reconnect the affected accounts.
